HomeGoods — Local services in Austin

I thought I'd just pop in for a quick browse since I was in the area for a different errand and I ended up buying an Oxo toilet brush and canister, a perfect match my Oxo plunger at home that I had bought at a Ross or TJ Maxx a while back, when they didn't have the matching brush. I looked up all these products later on Amazon and they're actually all cheaper at home goods. That was a nice surprise. I had assumed the "compare at" prices were inflated.

I found the dog treats were a great deal! I walk dogs as a volunteer at an animal shelter and these treats are usually so expensive, so I'm really happy to have a place to stock up again the next time I run out.

Not pictured is another impulse buy of a collapsible stepping stool that I hope to use as a seat for gardening. There was a beautiful indoor stepping stool here at Homegoods, handmade in Thailand, but it was way too nice to use outside and $25.

I also bought a Yaupon Holly tea I found in the clearance section for $6. I read about Yaupon Holly being as caffeinated as coffee/tea and is a good substitute if for some reason we can't trade with other countries anymore (yes, these are the things I think about!). I hope it...

Customer service with management was ignored, sassy, and snarky! As a black woman who’s disabled veteran patron. Maneuvering around this store was horrible and disorganized. Lead Associates/Managers blocking already narrow walkways. I know I’m not invisible. I was disrespected during check out after asking for a price match for an item that damaged by a stained. I was told “I guess, I can honor the mark down” but was it necessary to follow up with “well you can just wash it.” Then after marking the item down and returning it to your sales associate. The lead associate/management address me again with another unsolicited suggestion “that’s all I can do, you can take it or leave it.” The price was not matched but that’s either here nor there. I secured my energy because I could have equally matched the rudeness. So I saved it just for this review. Management should take customer service lessons from the associates that work...

Homegoods is AWESOME! I love this place and shop here every chance I can. The prices are very reasonable and the selection ranges from modern to traditional in a fun/elegant way and beyond. If you've never been, you should make it your next stop when you're out shopping.

Take note: If you see something you love, buy it on the spot because it will likely be gone when you return. Trust me, I have learned the hard way on more than one occasion. They have a very high volume of business and items usually do not sit on the shelves. The return policy is great so my advice is don't risk losing the item, just buy it and if it doesn't work you can return it within 30 days.

Parking can be tight depending on the season and day/time but if you keep circling you'll eventually get a space. There is also parking behind the...
